Ok, can we please please please talk about the fact that Neil canonically is just the teensiest bit grossed out by the taste of cum?
Because, like, I know a lot of people like to imagine Neil and Andrewâs sex life like theyâre two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together. And I get it? Thereâs something thatâs so good about the trope where everything just falls into place magically once you find the right person.Â
But for me? Oh my god, give me awkward at sex, demi!Neil. Give me a Neil who has never, not ONCE in his whole life, spent time thinking about what he might/might not be into and is being thrown into the deep end of the pool and now has to go through all the parts of sex that are weird and strange instead. Give me a Neil who learns the hard way what he does and doesnât like in bed.
Imagine Neil giving head for the first time and not feeling sexy at all. Imagine him overthinking all of it and wondering how long is too long for Andrew not to cum. Should it be going faster? Slower? Deeper? Use more tongue or his hands? Imagine him starting to do just whatever Andrew does for him and then panicking about it because what if Andrew knows heâs just copying his moves?? Is it embarrassing to do that? HE DOESNâT KNOW!
And then Andrew finally cums in his mouth and (points to the quote above) it actually kind of grosses him out a little? Itâs warm and bitter and a touch salty, and suddenly he has all this cum sitting in his mouth, and he doesnât know what to do with it because Andrew usually swallows, and he guesses thatâs the polite thing to do, but for some reason he just locks up.
I love thinking about Andrew taking one look at his face and reading him to filth. And maybe he reaches for his T-shirt or a towel and holds it up and tells Neil, âSpit,â because what is this idiot doing?
And Neilâs looking around because no, no, itâs fine! REALLY! And Andrew just keeps his hand out like an impatient pet owner trying to get their dog to drop whateverâs in their mouth, so even though itâs so embarrassing and a little gross and awkward, Neil ends up spitting it out into Andrewâs tee.
I love thinking about little moments like this, where Neil is genuinely taken aback or has no clue what to do and gets to just be a super awkward virgin with Andrew. And what I think is so fun about this is that Andrew gets to be the grounding presence for him through all of it. You donât like the taste of cum? Not a big deal, dummy, just spit it out. No oneâs forcing you to swallow.Â
God I could eat this flavor of Andreil with a fucking spoon.
